Foreword

The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), CSA Group, and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), as a Task Force, collaborated with experts and stakeholders to develop this non-consensus Standard for home appliances as the first step in a broader Product Sustainability Initiative. The overall goal of this family of Standards is to provide meaningful product sustainability information to consumers and stakeholders. It is intended for this initiative to drive innovation and continual improvement in the sustainability performance of home appliances. This Standard is based on product life cycle information and consideration for consumer expectations. It provides information for consumers, governments, retailers, and other program developers to help distinguish between products based on environmental criteria.

AHAM, CSA, and UL would like to acknowledge the assistance of PE INTERNATIONAL and Five Winds Strategic Consulting whose staff served as experts and project managers.

The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) represents manufacturers of major, portable and floor care home appliances, and suppliers to the industry in the U.S. and Canada. AHAM’s membership includes over 150 companies throughout the world. AHAM is also a standards development organization, accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and authors numerous appliance performance testing standards used by manufacturers, consumer organizations and governmental bodies to rate and compare appliances. AHAM administers several appliance rating verification programs, employing third party laboratories. AHAM’s consumer safety education program has educated millions of consumers on ways to properly and safely use appliances such as portable heaters, clothes dryers, and cooking products.

Canadian Standards Association (operating as “CSA Group”) is a not-for-profit membership-based association serving business, industry, government, and consumers in the global marketplace. As a solutions-oriented organization, we work around the world to develop standards that address real needs, such as enhancing public safety and health, advancing the quality of life, helping to preserve the environment, and facilitating trade.

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) is a global independent safety science company offering expertise across five key strategic businesses: Product Safety, Environment, Life & Health, Knowledge Services and Verification Services. Our breadth, established objectivity, and proven history mean we are a symbol of trust and enable us to help provide peace of mind to all. In addition to being a leader in safety science, UL is a world leader in standards development for safety, health, and sustainability. Through more than a century of involvement in the standards and conformity assessment community, UL is recognized for its unrivaled technical expertise and our Standards are used to evaluate and certify products and systems. UL Standards are used by manufacturers to help them design products and systems to meet the requirements for certification, by code development organizations that adopt and reference them in their codes, and by certification organizations that utilize UL requirements for their own certifications.

Preface

Sustainability Standard for household cooking appliances

This is the first edition of AHAM 7004/CSA SPE-7004/UL 7004, Sustainability Standard for household cooking appliances. This is a non-consensus document; it will be processed in accordance with procedures accredited by ANSI and SCC with the intent of being published as a consensus document.

The environmental performance of cooking home appliances is evaluated on the single environmental attribute of energy consumption during use. This Standard takes a broader, multi-attribute, and more holistic approach to assessing the environmental impacts of cooking home appliances. The intention of this Standard is that it will not promote environmental performance at the expense of consumer relevant product performance. Product performance may be revisited in future editions if performance standards are developed. The multi-attribute approach was developed using life-cycle assessment (LCA) information along with other key factors such as hot-spot or hot-button analyses influencing product environmental performance. This approach, detailed in Annex A, determined the environmental attributes of cooking appliances for inclusion in this Standard.

All parties have agreed that this Standard will be reviewed at the time a new U.S. Department of Energy or Natural Resources Canada minimum energy standard change occurs or within three years from the date the AHAM-CSA-ULe Preliminary Requirements Standard is published. Many of the measurements included within this Standard are unique and have not been conducted on other appliance categories. The Task Force that drafted this Standard expects to learn much from the application of this First Edition in the coming years. The use of this Standard, self-assessment by cooking appliance manufacturers, and external third-party assessment will be used to improve the Standard in drafting the second and subsequent editions.

This Standard was written specifically for products placed on the market in the United States and Canada. At the present time, a number of the calculations are based on systems specific to North America. This Standard was prepared by the Task Force on AHAM-CSA Group-UL Sustainability Standard for Household Cooking Appliances, under the jurisdiction of the AHAM Major Appliance Engineering Council, CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Business Management and Sustainability, and UL Environment.

Interpretations

The interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is based on the literal text to determine compliance with the Standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identified, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards development organizations to more accurately reflect the intent.
